RE: Help With Matching

[Peter Cornelius]

$test1 = " the is a test";
 
$test1 = s/<>/</td></td>/g 

I'm not going to re-state all of the other valid comments to this problem
but I would like to add...
assuming you want all whitespace replaced with "<td></td>"  I think this
should work.

$test1 =~ s#\s+#<td></td>#g
        ^   ^^^
        |    |
        |    |-> \s is whitspace, + is one or more
        |
        |->  Don't forget to bind the pattern to the data or the s/// thing
operates on $_

Good Luck
